500 _aResearch brief (Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre)
520 _aThis research brief explores the definition and prevalence of adolescent family violence in Australia, in advance of a research project on this topic. Adolescent family violence is a complex and serious issue that is increasingly recognised in Australia (Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria, 2010). The term refers to any act of family violence committed by an adolescent who is generally 12 to 18 years of age (Department of Human Services, 2014). Such violence includes physical, emotional, sexual, social, spiritual, cultural, psychological and economic abuses that occur within families, intimate relationships, extended families, kinship networks and communities (Department of Human Services, 2013). These acts are often committed in an attempt to gain and maintain power and control, with the perpetrators coercing, threatening, intimidating, destroying property and possessions, and/or physically assaulting their parents (Howard, 2015). Actions are often misunderstood or minimised because of the child’s age; parents may struggle to understand how their child can be violent to them, meaning that there is a shame associated with this type of crime. (From the brief). Record #7820
